Germany, Kriegsmarine. A Rare Chaplain’s Collar Tab, with Photo

(Kriegsmarine Kragenspiegel für Pfarrer, mit Foto). Constructed of black wool with a buckram core, trimmed with twisted and rolled silver aluminum wire piping, bearing a central silver aluminum wire Latin Cross, set within an oval oak leaf wreath of identical construction, unmarked, measuring 40 mm (w) x 60 mm (l), moderate material fatigue and oxidation are evident to the wire features and the base wool demonstrates slight wear, a scarce example in better than very fine condition; accompanied by a private studio portrait depicting a Kriegsmarine Chaplain, in uniform and with the details of both the cap and collar insignia clearly visible, the reverse in unused postcard format, measuring 88 mm (w) x 135 mm (h), demonstrating creasing throughout, an unpublished visual accompaniment in very fine condition.
